Course summary

Why choose this course?

This industry-accredited course offers a strategic overview of civil engineering and management issues. It addresses the challenges facing the construction industry and successfully combines structural engineering with advanced construction management. This course is ideal if you are a graduate engineer starting your career in the construction industry. Combining structural engineering with advanced construction management, the course addresses the challenges facing the construction industry. You will study subjects that are specific and complementary to civil engineering, developing your problem-solving abilities. A structural design module will broaden and deepen your technical knowledge of specialised civil engineering areas.

What you will study

There are four taught modules and a thesis. Three of the modules will provide you with an understanding of the core management skills needed to make a major contribution within the industry, while one structural design module will enable you to broaden and deepen your technical knowledge of specialised civil engineering areas. You will also cover subjects that are both specific and complementary to civil engineering. In addition, you will develop the ability to resolve the broader problems that arise in civil engineering. The advanced concrete design module is assessed by coursework based on the national university competition organised by The Concrete Centre, the trade body representing the concrete industry in the UK. For a student to go on placement they are required to pass every module first time with no reassessments. It is the responsibility of individual students to find a suitable paid placement. Students will be supported by our dedicated placement team in securing this opportunity.

Teaching and assessment

Assessment typically comprises exams (e.g. test or exam), practical (e.g. presentations, performance) and coursework (e.g. essays, reports, self-assessment, portfolios, dissertation). The approximate percentage for how you will be assessed on this course is as follows, though depends to some extent on the optional modules you choose.
